who put your Silverado’s tailgate on upside down (who’s out on strike anyway) will achieve compensation equity. And Warren thinks the federal minimum wage should be $22 an hour. The kid bagging groceries will be making $47,760 a year. And, no, damn it, don’t load the case of beer on top of the egg carton. Of course she favors universal single-payer health care or, as it’s properly called, “Health care that’s free – and worth it.” Plus subsidized universal childcare. I have several friends with children in their 30s who still need quite a bit of parental caretaking. My friends sincerely hope that Warren’s program will address the darn kids’ rent, car payments, and debit card overdrafts. Of course, Warren has all the predictable “woke” political positions on civil rights, women’s rights, gay rights, transgender rights, and every other kind of rights you ever heard of except for Second Amendment and property rights, which apparently go to sleep when somebody gets woke. Like any good lefty she supports campaign finance reform and wants to “take the money out of politics.” Although in the last three months she’s raised $24.6 million in campaign funds compared to the $15.2 million that less-lefty Joe Biden has raised. $24.6 million sounds like money to me. She also has the typical left/liberal views on abortion and the death penalty that, personally, I find deeply perplexing. I can understand the cold, pragmatic logic of being in favor of abortion and the death penalty.
unlovable than most. But, given Warren’s obvious economic ignorance, the way her break-up would work would be something like... There’s only one Dollar General store in your town. Warren would divide the business so that your town had four stores – each selling everything for 25 cents. And Warren favors a kind of “net neutrality” where Internet providers would be treated like public utilities. As if we didn’t have enough infrastructure problems with the public utilities we have now. And, anyway, I would argue that the Internet already is a public utility – a sewage system that runs backwards pumping crap into your laptop and phone. Warren wants to tax corporations’ global profits in addition to the U.S. taxes they already pay and no matter what other taxes they pay overseas. I guess the idea is to get U.S. investment out of the global marketplace and back home. But this is like shooting your neighbor’s cows in hope of getting more milk from your own. Warren has proposed that large corporations should be required to allow employees to elect 40% of corporate board members. And that’s how somebody’s brother-in-law wearing flip- flops, cargo shorts, and an Antonio Brown Patriot’s jersey ended up at the board table scratching his stomach and drinking a beer. You can’t blame the guy from the loading dock who nominated him. His wife had been on his ass for years to get her brother a job. She also proposes eliminating the “gender pay gap” with “Paycheck Fairness Act” legislation. Finally, Mary T. Barra, CEO of General Motors, and the guy on the assembly line
